By Kathleen Thompson


A lot of people wear watches of many designs and styles. People wear watches not just to check the time but to show their personality. A watch can be worn as an accessory too. For whatever reason you have for putting on a watch, you will need a good watch to match your taste. Designer Wrist Watches have been here for a while, and latest brands are replacing some. There are brand names such as Armani and Michael Kors that you can consider depending on what you are looking for in a timepiece.

The first thing you need to consider is the comfort element of the watch. Choose a watch that you could wear without any discomfort or pain. It should be able to fit perfectly. If it does not, you can have it reduced or expanded for your fit. You should also wear one that will not hinder you from your daily activities. Have a watch that works with your lifestyle.

Choose a long-lasting watch. Most designer timepieces are expensive, so it is best if you should choose something that will be worth the money and would not need constant repairing or buying. It should be durable enough that you may wear it almost daily without it wearing off. Ensure you buy an original brand as there are so many imitations in the market nowadays. Nevertheless, take care of it so that it can last longer.

Research the brands available and their differences beforehand. You can do some personal research either online or from journals and papers. You can also seek assistance from family and friends that have previously bought a designer watch. Look at the strengths and weaknesses of each brand and the unique features it possesses. When you now visit the shop, you will have little left to do, and the outward appearance would not hinder your judgment.

Look at the different materials that the cases have. They are mostly just three; either metal, plastic or leather. The materials say a lot about the watch regarding expense and style. Metal frames are most expensive especially if you are using high-quality metals. The leather watch depends on the quality of leather; there are original or fake leathers. Plastic watches are the cheapest among the three. To improve the appearance of your frame, you can have it custom made, for instance, you can add precious stones.

Choose according to your preferred style. It could be a simple watch or a luxurious one. It could be depending on the reason you are wearing it, for instance, for sports, fashion or work. It could have extra features according to this, for example, for sports, it could have a timer or have a mechanism to check calories burnt.

Decide on the type of movement you want the watch to have; it could either be mechanical, battery or quartz. The ones that use battery are the cheapest and use batteries as their source of energy, and quartz is slightly more expensive with mechanical being the most expensive.

Consider the unique features that distinguish different timepieces. Choose the features that are important to you and enhance your watch. For example, a scuba diver would want a watch is water resistant, and the material would not get damaged by the water.
